After staying away from public eye, Josh Duggar is slowly making his return on social media. The eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle is celebrating his wedding anniversary with wife Anna and to commemorate the moment, the Duggar family has released a rare picture of the couple.

This is the first picture of Josh and Anna after the former 19 Kids and Counting star's rehab stint. Soon after he entered the faith based rehab, speculations were abuzz that Anna will leave him and the Duggar family post the cheating scandal. However, contrary to public perception, she remained very much part of the evangelical Christian family.

With the picture, the Duggars wished the couple for their ninth wedding anniversary. The family also hinted that all is well between the couple who shares four children between them. "Happy Anniversary, Josh and Anna. We are so thankful for God's redemptive love in your lives," they captioned the image where the 28-year-old reality TV star and Anna appeared happy with each other.

The couple was going through a marital crisis soon after the Ashley Madison hack revealed his secret account with the cheating website. He later confessed of porn addiction and entered into a rehabilitation centre in order to get rid of the bad habits. He was maintaining a low profile since his return from rehab in 2015.

Anna visited Josh in rehab and has previously described it as "an important step on a long and difficult road." The couple also went through marriage counselling to rebuild their relationship. "Since the residential treatment program ended, we have been working with a professional marriage and family counsellor to take important steps toward healing. It isn't easy and some days are very difficult. It is a long road to rebuild trust and a truly healthy relationship," they said in a statement in May.

Happy Anniversary, Josh and Anna. We are so thankful for Godâs redemptive love in your lives.
